Can’t remember what it is that the prefrontal cortex does, relative to the rest of the brain? Reading about the latest finding regarding brain scans, yet unsure about what such scans can and cannot demonstrate?

Or perhaps you’d just like to gaze at some cutting-edge imagery of the brain in action? You might want to check out Brainfacts.org, a project of the Kavli Foundation, the Gatsy Charitable Foundation, and the Society for Neuroscience, which launched today. It aspires to be a comprehensive, authoritative site for information about all things related to gray matter.
